As I think you know we fly in to area 17. We had tags but got no moose. The grandson of one of our party saw a cow on the first morning but the wind was blowing so hard it was impossible to get a shot. A couple of days later I called a young bull out but he was 6 to 700 yards away. I tried to call him closer but he was across water and I wasn't good enough to get him to swim.
I think this may have been the last year for me for moose. This June I will be 80 and have been leaning more heavily on others for some time. I have offered to fill in if one of the four now planning on going cannot make it. I still plan on deer hunting at the daughter and son-in-laws cottage since it is a low pressure hunt. Saw lots of deer but they were all does and fawns and I didn't have a tag for antlerless. The hunt was enjoyable though seeing so many deer.
All the best in the new year to you and your family.
Jim
